"Because Europeans live longer than ever, and because of new and expensive treatments, the costs of health and social care will rise substantially to about 9% of EU GDP in 2050. ICT can be our most powerful ally to maintain cost efficient and high quality health and social care, as it empowers people of every age to better manage their health and quality of life, in any place."

“(…) The Green Paper considers the potential of mHealth and its technological aspects and presents the issues where stakeholder input is sought. It also analyses mHealth potential to maintain and improve patients' health and well-being and encourage their empowerment.

Many of the issues may not be within the competence of EU law, but the EU can still act as a clearing house for best practice and can help to stimulate innovation in an area of huge potential.

“This report outlines the findings from a three-pronged approach that includes:
1. Establishing a database of existing mHealth tools related to FLHW performance and accountability
2. Conducting a literature review on the evidence base of using mHealth tools to improve FLHW performance and accountability
3. Developing a framework to guide the adaptation of paper-based content into mobile-friendly content.
